in reply to Webserver level authentication?

I have had lots of fun with Apache::ASP. Not it's not VB, it's perl! It automatically takes care of sessions, and when a session starts, you can authenticate by whatever means, and then store a session variable to indicate the user is authenticated. On every page load, check for that variable, and redirect to a login page if it doesn't exist. The session stuff also helps tremendously with the total application.
